Crohn's & Colitis UK has been recognised with five top awards at the 2020 Communiqué Awards.
The Communiqué Awards programme is designed to commend excellence and innovation across international healthcare communications; championing projects that will deliver real improvements in healthcare and enhance the patient experience.
Crohn's & Colitis UK were recognised for two areas of work this year. For what we achieved with our campaign 'Not Every Disability is Visible' and the mobile App, 'In My Shoes: 24 Hours with Crohn's or Colitis'.
This Campaign brought real change for Crohn's & Colitis patients in their everyday lives…and this was our standout winner by using innovation for purpose
Not Every Disability is Visible was supported by Janssen and the In My Shoes App supported by our partnership with Takeda UK. We extend our heartfelt thanks to both companies for their commitment to the projects and shared goals of improving the lives for people with Crohn's or Colitis.
Excellence in Public Health Communications and Excellence in Media Relations.
Excellence in Patient Programmes, Excellence in Healthcare Partnerships, and the Porterhouse Medical Award for Innovation in Healthcare.
A big thank you to Janssen, Takeda, Mearns and Pike, Electric Putty and Evoke KYNE for helping us bring these projects to life and continue to help those living with Crohn's and Colitis. And of course, a special thank you to all our supporters for making the projects and campaigns so successful.
